On a roll...

The next CCG scheme is up (#112) and I've done a layout already! How inspiring does "zesty teal - clear blue sky - bright yellow sun - firecracker red" sound? I had to dig into my stash straight away.Teal is one of my favourite colours, and I'm loving yellow - so much so, that my yellow stash is looking decidedly bare! Might have to invest in a little bit more...hmmm. One colour that doesn't get much of a work out is purple, and my blue section is overflowing so I might have to challenge myself to use those two a little bit more often. So...here's my take on the colour combo...

The pics are of Andrew and Seth mucking around in the backyard with the hose...such a novelty! We very rarely use our hose (check out how dry our yard is!), but on this particular day it was 40C+, and the Minister relaxed water restrictions so that children could play under the hose and sprinklers (we don't even own one, and the kids don't know what one is!). They had a ball for about 10mins...I felt incredibly guilty that we were using water considering the drought conditions. Great fun while it lasted, but now its back to being frugal.
